Hybrid Mechanical Sculptures by Pierre Matter

SHARE:

French artist Pierre Matter uses scrap metal for his sculptures and gives them second life by transforming them into bulls, whales, and mythological creatures that explores the relationship between natural and man-made. As a child, he was fond of mathematics but his slow progression into the field led him to his artistic creations as a form of escape, trying out many kinds of expression from gouache and watercolor painting, comic book drawing, to bas-reliefs in stone. He ended up with this type of sculpture that combines the organic with the mechanical as it seemed obvious to him. Matter's sculptures reflect a robotic evolution that may be entirely possible in the future stating that "we are only at the beginning of an era where the use of machines or micromachines embedded within living beings may well become widespread, but it is already the case that modern life is completely unthinkable without technology."
